Today….. it’s suppose to be very special day to me.
Yet, I do not feel excited about this day
What’s worse is that somehow I did end up feeling excited, especially on my way to work, but the excitement of today was not because of this special day.
Instead…. its something quite the opposite, some event that may push me further and further from you.
Oh Dear….what the hell is happening??

Views
Different people have different views and standards on how a relationship is or should be.
Whats yours?
Sometimes, people will envy how your relationship is like, yet, you feel that this is not what you are looking for to consider it as wonderful.
Sometimes, people will criticize on how or why it should not be this way, that its not up to standard point of view and yet, you feel so blissful.
Its confusing. Brain cells dead.
Actually, i guess the most important thing is how you yourself think

A Phone Call
Just after I typed in my previous post about procrastinating to call my Grandma...
I picked up my HP to call her up.. hoping that she has not gone to bed...8 plus
At the sound of her voice.... I felt a sense of warmth filling my heart.
Nope.. i did not wake her up.. but realised that I missed her a lot.
She was eating fruits at the time of my call...
My Grandma.. so much memories rose in my head.
The lady whom looked after me and my bro when we were young.. together with my 2 cousins..
The 4 of us would always hide in her bedroom while she was always busy with making something for us to eat in the kitchen....We were all so chubby under her care..
The 4 of us would be dancing on her bed, make believe we were holding a concert.. having fans & encores, jumping on the mattess... using her bolster as a mic. At the end of the day, her bed was always in a big mess.. and she would mumble/ scream or shake her head. hahah
I still recall snatching her bolster from her in the middle of the night.. then she would try to snatch back from me when she thought i was in deep sleep.. and it would go on and on.
I still recall i was always so angry with her for me being late for kindergaten. Always the last to reach and had to stand in front of the line. Unable to line in pair with a guy I had a crush on.. Yeah.. i think i grew up fast .. haha But yet, each time she would be in time to pick me up....not letting me play at the play ground before we head home.
I still recall she would always scold my uncles when they secretly bought ice cream for us to eat... braving up against my Grandma's scolding.. so she strongly believed that small kids should not eat ice cream...
I still recall clearly once when she was bathing and i sat on her dressing table with a pair of scissors and began trimming my fringe. The feeling of cutting hair was so shiok that i realised i was left with almost 1.5cm of fringe, she almost fainted and was so worried bout how my mum would react when she saw me.
Another incident was when she brought me to the doctor. I hated it so much coz i knew it meant i had to take medicine, so when the doctor tried to put the stethoscope on my chest.. i kicked him hard in his balls.. and no.. i didnt knew why it hurt so much or that was a different part from my body at that time. Except that the doc looked seriously pissed and my grandma was so alarmed that she kept on "soli soli soli!!!"
I recall that whenever i visit her, she always cooks up a feast and forced me to finish the food (even when i turned up unannouced so that I can escape eating for 3pax's share,I'm not over-exaggerating, she'll always find something from the fridge, drawers, cupboards,to cook), she'll not let me do the dishes so that i will stay longer saying to wait for her to finish washing.. and she'll rewash & rewash & rewash till close to very late into the night.
Or when she complains that I dun bring her out for walks, but each time we arranged and i was on the bus reaching her house, she'll say "aiya...ah mah headache, cannot go out.. other day la.. u go home okie?" Aarrrggghhh!!!
While we chatted, i described at length to her how my house look like.. as she has never been here.. she missed it during Chinese New Year as she had to wait up for an aunt to visit her while the rest of my relatives came over...
I told her about my experience with putting on braces, how i realised that only at 26 years old, learnt that my baby teeth was still firmly intact in my gums.. the pulling of 4 teeth, the surgery of an embedded tooth while she balked at the price of extracting a teeth cost 40 while she had hers extracted at only 15... All the while she kept chiding me for not telling her so that she could brew some nourishing chinese herbal soup for the blood i lost.
She chided me for not learning how to cook from her or watch her cook while i was staying with her when she learnt from me that most of the time, it is my husband who cooks for me.
Saying that a girl should know how to cook well and look after the family. I felt embarassed...
I remember she cooked very well.. loved her curry fish head, her fried omelettes, stirred fried veg, fish porridge, etc etc... It saddens me that when i told her i missed those dishes she cooked, she told me she could no longer cook that well.. coz of her migraine and aching arms and legs..
We chatted for almost 3 hrs.. my HP was so hot against my ear...and she started nagging that I have not bathed... its so late now.. cannot wash hair... at night cannot wash hair... wait next time old will have a lot of headaches..next time dun so late then bath.. remember ah.. dun so late bath next time.. aiyo.. why so late haven bath... next time bath le then call me.. and anytime can call me.. i dun sleep so early. dun worry.. dun so late bath ah.. dun wash hair at night ah... blah blah blah" (yes.. she's very repetitive.. super) The hangup routine takes about 10 mins each time.
To my grandma,
I hope you'll not grow old so fast... i miss the days even when i felt u were so strict and naggy and nearly wanted to strangle you. hahah
I wanna bring you to see my house for yourself soon so that you wun need to imagine.
Okie, I shall set it to next week or the week after next!
Its a MUZ DO ! I hope she'll not put me aeroplane.

Lethargic
Did u have days where u just didnt feel like doing anything , and i mean anything at all?
So much things or errands to be done and yet you just dun even feel like starting?
Procastination...
Thats what I've been feeling for like..... the past few weeks?
Thus, the missing entries for a while.
I cant seem to keep myself focus... be it whatever i was doing at the moment.
My thoughts would sway to other things which i wasnt doing at the very moment. And yet, when i stop watever i was doing to do what was was on my mind.. i procrastinate.
I just.. I dun even feel like doing anything at all... staring into space.. blankly..
Nothing seem to hold my interest at all.
Is that normal???
I think i need a break..
but i do not know wat to do while having the break.
A lobg list of:
Exercising, finishing up my reconcilations, practising keyboard, playing guitar, cooking, ironing clothes, doing cross stitch, reading, playing board games or my fav UNO, blogging, watching TV/ VCD, Karaoke, keeping a look out for jobs, packing, making cards, calling my grandma,......

Sick
Been sick for the past few days...
yes.. i must be thankful that CX did all of the house work in addition to cooking for me and washing up.
The meals had been very tasty.. just too bad that i wasnt well enuff to take pics to post.
franklyI guess he's just a much better cook than me. Plus I'm super lazy.. usually when i think of needing to clean up after cooking, i'll find excuses to ta bao. And it always result in he cook & wash up..
I hope he pardon me for the low moods the past week... dunno what got into me... he muz have been so stressed dealing with me.
I think i often take him for granted. Should stop this bad behaviour!!!
but i always cant do it.. bad Linda

New Ipod Nano
I have a new ipod!
Its called Chipod (found out by CX) ---> Chinese Ipod
Its a 'cheong" 4 GB Ipod Nano.. but i like it.. coz i can watch MTV on it!
It costs $90 ( I bargained and succeeded at the IT Fair-heh heh)
Hope it isnt too disappointing.... I've yet to try out thoroughly.
I wanna go there someday
I learnt about a new & interesting Theme Park while in Sam's car.
I LOVE THEME PARKS! with lots of interesting and heart stopping rides!
I saw a badge pinned on the passenger's seat mirror board..
On it says:" Knott's" Everyone has to go there some day.
Curious, I asked him if he knew where is that place.
He began telling me about this theme park where it celebrates Halloween for the whole of Oct.
It happens at the 'ghost town' area. (usually u go there in the evening)
There would be lots of staff dressed up in scary costumes and most of the time hiding somewhere out there in the theme park and suddenly pops out to scare you.
Be it whether you are just strolling around, (something will pop out behind/ from the tree) or when u are resting on a bench ( and suddenly an arm underneath the bench reached out and grabbed his leg)
It sounds so fun.. i wanna go there someday...
Knott's Berry Farm
With over 165 wild rides, shows and unique attractions just steps from Knott's Resort Hotel, Knott's Theme Park is the place to go for family fun and thrill seeking adventure!

What Are They Doing???
This is done secretly, but as i wasnt very discreet, CX awarded me with a scowl. (hehe)
Last day of CNY and YYKX members are gathered at my house for a "Lo Hei"
Khim mentioned that Sakae's Lo Hei is not bad! So we headed down to Northpoint's to get one.
But can u believe it? It's out of stock, there were stackes of "Lo Hei" boxes near the cashier but it's all been pre-ordered & reserved!
Arghhh.. maybe I'll have to wait for next year to try it.
Even Cold storage & NTUC were out of stock.
It's okie, i told myself... we still have "Golden Pillow" to try, but was later excecuted as we need to wait 2 hrs.
And so.. hahaha
Khim & I came up with a good proposal.. Get the Guys to cook for us...
Yeah!
so while the guys went marketing and cooking, Khim & I hung out in the air-conditioned chill out room for gossips..
Until:
The feast
Omelette with sliced mushrooms and diced tomotoes
Thick egg soup with dunno what secret ingredients and receipe (hmmpH)
i know there's tomato, tofu, egg.. and ......???
Wa Wa (Dolly) Vege with pork ribs (Adrian discovered this veg name while he's in China)
Tofu with mushroom and bean sauce... yummy!
Forcing the chefs to take a pic:
hahaha thank you! Yong.Yuan.Kai.Xin (YYKX)
Gong Xi Fa Cai! Huat Ah!
SHIT
In the mist of rushing my work, My CFO gave this to me:
CFO: Linda, for you, try it.. It's nice!
Me: "huh.. Looks like SHIT lei"
CFO: -.-"'
CFO: Its really nice, try it.
Me: U not lying to me hor? U sure can eat?
CFO: Yes, of course!
Me:"okie lor"
hmmm.. surprisingly.. its not bad!
I learnt that this Shit look-a-like is : FIG
Lazy Sunday
Can't believe I actually woke up at 9 plus A.M!!!
and not feeling sleepy at all.. haha
I guess it was due to the past weekends being too packed with programs.
The IT Fair clashed with our Mint Museum itinery today...
I guess it'll have to wait till next weekend then!
hmmm.. hope we can at least get a very good price for external hard disk..
I'll have a temp guy helping out tomorrow Yeah!
After 2 mths of doing both AP & GL
Pray hards he listens to me..
more outdated unposted blogging to come!

Rock-A- Bye Spore
Did U Feel it?
Your office building Rocking while u were at work?
Even all our office's TV were rocking... it's still not known where is the earthquake as at now..
When I emailed CX about it.. he said Tampines also, even AF's office @ Braddell also felt it.
Guess its quite a major earthquake.
TQ's sister who's working at Shaw House was asked to evacuate the building!
I din dare to go ladies for fear of being trapped in there!
hmm... i hope all is well.
Short post.. back to work

Happy Chinese New Year!
This year is slightly different compared to previous years coz i get to invite people to come my house! Yeah! I love having people at my house... maybe is due to the fact that i wasnt really allowed to ask friends over when i was staying with my parents. (My mum didnt really liked it)
This year, after visiting @ my grandma's, my uncles,aunts and cousins came over for a visit.
It was kinda fun,chilling out and playing cards.
And they were quite amazed to see the "before" renovation on the valuation report.
One thing both my Dad & Cousin noticed once they stepped into my house: "Eh, how come no TV?"
hahahah
I wanna invite friends over too!!

Excited
Never before i could recall to being so so excited to board a cab!
It was almost 10pm when we were still waiting around for a cab and having a few people suddenly standing few meters ahead of us hailing for cabs. Arghhh
"please.. i wanna get there before the shop closes.. " i kept thinking to myself.
It was impromtu decision to head to carrefour to get something which I've been thinking of having so some time. (and i think CX doesnt know, well maybe he does.. but i've never repeated it to him like when I've wanted something badly)
The best part is, the decision wasnt made by me.. hahah
Only when we reached did i realised that the staff did not announce those "our shop will be closing in 5 min time.. blah blah".. Guess what? they are opened till mid night today! (all the anxiousness for nothing
anyway... here it is:

Best part is.. after eating... he asked me to go rest, watch TV or play game.. he'll do all the cleaning up.
Opps... i feel so bad.. coz i din give him anything nor helped with anything.
Nevermind, indulge in this while i can... coz I'm sure.. it isnt sunday everyday. heh heh
